 ## What is BlumeOps?
 
 BlumeOps is my personal homelab infrastructure managed entirely through code.
-Everything lives in a single git repository, from service configs to deployment
-automation. Even the [[forgejo]] instance that hosts this repo is defined
-within it, making BlumeOps fully self-hosting. It's a digital life raft I built
-for myself as I went, and you can see it all from within your editor of choice.
-(I recommend vim.)
